The man in black turned around, with no surprise or joy on his face.
He saw Chu Shao, shrouded in the pale moonlight, and seemed to be stunned for a moment.
Then the man in black said expressionlessly, "You shouldn't have appeared here tonight."
He had only met Chu Shao once before. However, her facial features and appearance were too similar to someone he knew, so he was able to deduce that she was Country based on a distant memory.
Chu Shao just lifted her eyes and looked at Qin Xueyi, who lay in a pool of blood.
Her gaze was gentle and focused, and no one knew what she was thinking.
After looking at the blood-stained figure for a while, Chu Shao held the bloodstained short blade and asked with a smile, "Why shouldn't I appear here tonight?"
The man in black replied, "That's what the intelligence suggested."
After hearing the man in black's words, Chu Shao smiled knowingly and said, "So your intelligence was probably wrong."
The man in black had also considered this possibility. He furrowed his brows, as if trying to recall how the intelligence department of the Blood Rain Pavilion was infiltrated and led to their erroneous judgment.
However, even if they made a mistake, the man in black would not be too surprised.
Because even if Chu Shao appeared, she couldn't change anything.
Moreover, he was only responsible for killing people for his employer, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to make trouble for himself and go against the Qi Country or Yan Mansion court by killing the Prince or the Princess.
Chu Shao's gaze was originally very calm.
But when she saw the bamboo leaves floating in the blood, she was stunned for a moment and suddenly remembered the boat on the lake.
Qin Xueyi had once played a tune with bamboo leaves.
She couldn't remember the melody anymore, but she only remembered that when the music was playing, Xiao Jin told Qin Xueyi a story.
The story was about a princess named Snow White and seven dwarfs.
Now, looking at the blood everywhere and the wrists soaked in red, Chu Shao's mood was far from pleasant.
After sensing this, she softly said to the black-clad person, "You killed her, so I should kill you."
The black-clad person frowned, "You want to kill me for a stranger?"
His face was calm, but his tone was cold.
Chu Shao smiled in reply, "To me, perhaps you are more of a stranger than Qin Xueyi."
The black-clad person didn't care about Chu Shao's words.
He held an unnamed sword in his hand and asked expressionlessly, "Do you think you can kill me?"
Chu Shao also held a sword in her hand.
A short blade stained with blood.
The tip of the short blade glistened like a cold moon, with one or two drops of crimson blood falling.
She smiled softly and said, "How would we know if we don't try?"
In the next moment, the short blade struck, approaching the black-clad person's throat.
The black-clad person's face was indifferent. He picked up the long sword with silver-blue patterns engraved on it, collided with Chu Shao's short blade, and blocked the sword in front of his own neck.
